Lan Sau / Bong Sau
I have the re-published Moy Yat Kuen Kuit book. Over breakfast I was reading it and came across something interesting:
"Lan Sao:
Bong Sao going back to centerline."
I find this interesting and it may change the way I think about the Bong.
So if my centre is locked on to my opponent's, I can use Lan. If I shift to a side-stance, I expose my own elbow. A good thing I can do is to Bong. Is this another way of thinking of the Bong? The fact that my centre isn't locked on (or facing - I've shifted), so I raise my elbow up for extra structural support.
For most drills for me, my Bong comes out on my centre and then 'reads' the energy...either flipping to Tan or just having the punch come over top or turning the Bong into an elbow.
What does this Kuen Kuit say to you and how do you use the Bong? (Or Lan for that matter...)
Best,
Kenton
